The weights are open, meaning publicly accessible, but you can't have a business profit off of them without paying for a license. That sounds fair and accurate.
HashiCorp has the same business model for their products: you are free to use them even in a business, except if your business is a competitor of their own cloud solutions.
Since the analogy is to source, no, that's not fair and accurate. It's misleading. The fair analogous term would be weights-available.
they are open for everything EXCEPT renting it with a neocloud type business that sells tokens. are you running a neocloud? why do you care?
No, but I might have someone who is subject to the restrictions host it or its distillates for me. That entity is going to end up having some kind of non-public deal with Mistral. And that can affect me.
> HashiCorp has the same business model
And Hashicorp's software is no longer open source, after they changed the license.
This is, but is still limited by their license: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault
Open doesn't just mean accessible and never has
